Orange and Brown, Date Night and Get Carded






If you live in Northeast Ohio, orange and brown has significance.  Our pro football team, the Cleveland Browns, have been sporting those colors for forever.  Not surprising then, that my daughter picked those colors for her new Date Night Bag and Get Carded Wallet.  She and her husband are huge Cleveland Browns fans.  Not to mention that the colors are great for Fall...colors we'll be seeing in the leaves of the trees soon.

If you saw my last post, you saw that she picked a brown plaid with a bit of orange for the Date Night bag and orange, brown and white flowers for the get carded with a two toned orange chevron as the lining for both.

 





Here it is.
 
 


I see the plaid didn't want to be photographed and didn't cooperate in this photo.

As you can see, my daughter didn't want any straps on the wallet.  She just wanted it to put inside the bag so no straps,tab,split ring, and 2 snap hooks!  She did, however, want a touch of piping, so I added some to the front pocket.





Here is the back with the plaid being a little more cooperative.



On the inside, I added a zipper pocket this time, along with the slip and pen pockets that are included in the pattern.


This is what they look like together.  The wallet would have fit all the way in the front pocket....but why would I have done that???  You wouldn't have known it was there!  The plaid is acting up again!



Both of these patterns are from Dog Under My Desk which you can find here.  Off to do another Dog Under My Desk pattern, Bigger On The Inside Drawstring Backpack.  Do you have your sunglasses on?  Here is a sneak peek at the fabric for that one.  Neon outside, batik inside...

    1. Thanks. She originally wanted more, but it was too much. Sometimes less is more.

    1. Thanks, Norma. Halfway done with it as we speak. I used interfacing on both the outside body and body lining pieces. That sure used a lot of interfacing. She said the body lining interfacing was optional. Did you use it? I see her new one came out today.

  5. It's gorgeous and looks very chic in the plaid fabric. Love that beautiful orange when you open the bag and that little touch of orange for the piping, the little wallet looks great with it. A perfect set.
